After the Hearing

Within 10 business days after the informal hearing, the hearing officer will notify you in writing of the hearing officer’s final decision, including a brief statement of the reasons. Factual determinations relating to your household circumstances shall be based on a preponderance of evidence presented at the hearing.

The hearing officer’s decision shall be binding on the Housing Authority unless:

  1. The decision ends up concerning a matter for which an informal hearing was not required, or otherwise exceeds the hearing officer’s authority under KCHA hearing procedures.

  2. The decision is contrary to HUD regulations or requirements, or otherwise contrary to federal, state or local law.

If the Housing Authority is not bound by a hearing decision, the Housing Authority will promptly notify you and explain the reasons for the determination.
